Feature request: Show timestamps on chat messages
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 28, 2026 by DakeOreo Closed May 1, 2026
Description
Add timestamp display next to each message in the chat UI (both user messages and Claude's responses).
Use case
When reviewing conversation history, it's helpful to know the exact time each message was sent/received. Currently there's no visual timestamp — users can't tell when a conversation happened without checking history.jsonl manually.
Suggested format
Show time (HH:MM) next to each message, e.g.:
- [11:00] User: Hello
- [11:01] Claude: Hi there
Notes
history.jsonlalready stores timestamps per message, so the data exists — just needs UI rendering- Could be an optional setting for users who want it
